On The Double Pullover

Quick easy long-sleeved sweater is knit in stockinette and rib using two strands of worsted weight yarn. The gradient color is achieved by using multi-colored yarn with the colorways staggered for contrast. Sizes XS to 5XL. The pattern does require picking up some stitches on part of the neckline. The top example uses the Blackberry Mousse colorway and the bottom example uses Poached Pear.

T Shirt Pullover

The designer Mama in a Stitch says that this short sleeved sweater is as simple as it gets. Knit two pieces of stockinette with a pretty rib hem and seam. Quick knit holding two strands of worsted yarn together. S, M, L, XL. Also available as a kit.

Sasha

This oversized pullover by Debbie Bliss is four knit pieces with minimal shaping, mostly stockinette with cable detail. Stitches are picked up for the turtleneck collar but you could leave it off. Pattern seems easy to me. S/M, M/L

Cloaked in Clouds Poncho

Alexandra Tavel’s easy cardigan sweater was inspired by blanket ruanas and features a wide rib collar and a thermal stitch for warmth. Quick project in bulky yarn, it is rated easy by the designer and Ravelrers.

Sweater Scarf

This easy cardigan wrap was inspired by a “sweater-scarf” from 1917, in the early years that women worked with the Red Cross. It is made from a knit rectangle and belt. Designed by Julie Farmer for Red Heart.

Mom and Baby Pullover

What a perfect gift for the new mother! Easy pattern from Bernat for matching pullover sweaters with v-necks in baby and women’s sizes. Baby sizes from 3 months to 18 months. Women’s sizes from XS to 5XL.

Drape Front Cardigan

This short-sleeved sweater from Universal Yarn looks great with buttoned in an asymmetric overlap, or open and draped or one side buttoned and the other draped. It’s knit in one piece from the top down mostly in stockinette with sleeves knit from picked up stitches. Small (Medium, Large, 1X, 2X)

Sawtelle Cardigan

This easy sweater designed by Amanda Keep Williams made entirely of knit stitches (garter stitch) and the only seaming is at the shoulders. Bust 32 (36-40-44-48-52)” in Pictured project by schmidtknits

River Braid Sweater

This relaxed fit long-sleeved pullover is very easy according to the designer. It’s knit in one piece sideways in garter stitch. A continuous double cable runs up the sleeve, and splits for shaping the neckline.

Hudson Valley Tunic

Shades of Gray

This cowl neck pullover is one of the 30+ projects featured in Casual Circular Knits. Knit in stockinette and seed stitch, it is rated easy by the designer and very easy to easy by Ravelrers. It looks like the body and sleeves are knit from side to side with a front panel. Great for multi-color yarn!

Veronica Vest

With unconventional shaping and construction, this vest also features a faux fur collar and a simple ridge pattern to create a very mod look. I couldn’t find any skill level indications on this sweater but it looks like it may be seamless construction on circular needles. That means mostly knit stitches with some ribbing. The collar is probably done with picked up stitches.

Montreal Cardigan

The designer says this draped front shrug is a super simple pattern, a great first garment for an advanced beginner looking to move beyond scarves and baby blankets. And a quick knit in super bulky yarn that the designer says can be finished in a weekend.
